Apart from Ebay! Does Anyone know where you can get genuine Car parts at a good discount price online?? Ebay where really good but now there getting pretty pricey!!
My Main Item I want is a Good Hi Flow Pod Filter!! I love K&N But are willing to give another Good Brand a go!!!
And speaking of that, does anyone know another HI Flow Pod Filter Brand
that is good for performance tuned Cars??

Apart from SS Inductions!! I know of them,

Thanks guys

Try China Everything is cheap and you will definately get different brands.

They are alot of Ford dealers on Ebay selling genuine parts from oil filters to floor mats.

Cheap 3A Racing pod filters are good for flow. Bet all other brands in a test in a mag years ago. Im sure google could find that comparison for you to decide yourself.

Thanks, I looked on the net & they say K&N All the time!! whats 3A Racing??? I have never heard of them!! Are they just cheap throw aways or re useables?

[AAXR8]

gggsxr111- I found a site called dx.com and they had some pretty good looking motorbike filters, cheap to!! if you still have that bike thats pictured!!

[Qwik6]

Most cheap pods that are available are reusable.
I have a few of these 3A racing ones that I have on abit of a rotation.

Just as a side point of interest...

I recently proved on the dyno that a KN filter made ZERO difference.

[gggsxr11]

Thanks for the advice.

For me i see some things as needing to be the best and others as not worth paying extra for.
eg: Tyres for my bike =i will pay for the best,Brakes for my bike= i will buy the best.
So i judge each item or part for my vehicles or anything in my life on an individual basis.

I got some good carbon activated cabin filters from this mob. http://directautospares.com.au/home Good product and cheap. I think it pays to shop around a bit when sourcing bits and pieces.

Hi, Yeah that's interesting!! Was that compared with a stock filter or a cheap pod filter? That's just the filter by itself? Not with a cold Air Intake?? Because I have heard its supposed to ad & don't quote me 7-10 extra Horsepower?? Hi Flow Filters!

I do myself buy the best in the past & every time the next day there heaps cheaper some where else!! I have payed more for a better company to fix a semi major job but everytime, I have they have done something wrong or they stick an apprentice on one side and somethings not right on that side (AGAIN FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE) NO OFFENCE TO APPRENTICE MECHANICS OR RETAIL TRAINEES!!! THEY HAVE TO LEARN SOME TIME!! But now I go to a mechanic for half the Labour cost and every time the jobs never rushed!! But last K&N filter i bought, I think I payed well over $100 bucks for it ,and the other day I saw them for $25 but properly fake!! So I won't buy it!! and not to long ago I was wanting to put AUTOMETER tacos in the Car & nearly every car retail place either did not sell them or they were $430 then online I found them in Australia No Rip Offs for $230 for the 2 1/16" size!! So sometimes shopping around sometimes you get the same thing 50% to even 30% off. You just need the right place right time sometimes!!!

By the sound of the Bikes and Cars you have Sounds like Money isn't a problem!!! Sounds like you can pay top dollar anywhere anytime!!

Not everyone is like that and you can't tell me I can't shop in another town in Australia!! It still supports Local Buisness's anyway!

3A racing filters are good but only come in 3 inch neck.

Try simota filters, good filters, plenty of different sizes. I think they are made in same factory as 3a racing. They performed same as 3A in that test. (There was a few cfm difference, 594cfm simota vs 3A racing 601cfm)

[Xauterus]

Horsepower does not come from changing filters on modern cars.

[Boza]

Try rockauto.com cheap have good brands and offer you heaps of brands to choose from I use them all the time

[Chief_xw]

Iv'e used this place before: http://www.eziautoparts.com.au/
I was happy with the process and parts were as described. Not the easiest search function though.

7-10 extra horsepower by using a KN is absolute BS.

Stock paper filter is best.

KN does not filter fine particles, don't go on a dirt road.

I have bought from both Adelaide Spares and Jefferson Ford via ebay.

I am taking about COLD AIR INTAKE PLUS K&N HI FLOW Go on Ebay and have a look!! I have bought one off Ebay and they recommended K&N Hi Flow filter for the Cold air intake & i Bought a K&N Square Flat Filter & I felt more power defiantly!! The BA I bought it came with a big Pod 4''x9'' K&N and again defiantly sucks the air through & the best part & a lot of shops I spoke to recommend K&N because they have a life time Warranty! No paper filter lasts a lifetime! If K&N are that bad on dirt why would they make them for Dirt Bikes???

I will always support the small local guy where I can, and I will pay a premium for Australian made.
BUT why should I contribute anymore than I have to towards the profits of Wesfarmers, Woolworths, SCA, etc, etc? If they want to charge me 500% markup on cheap Chinese rubbish, I'll go online and buy it myself.

I do try and support my local franchised "Ma & Pa" auto-store, but its tough as they have limited range and often don't stock the specials their brand has.

I was in professional practice for over a decade, and the sad reality is that most small business people don't have a clue about how to run a business.
They fork out a small fortune on rent and wages, sell a few items a day, and expect to make a profit
Which is not to say that Chinese small business is any better
